Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?


Just curious. People have asked about watches,
cigars, beer, and even ones income here.

1: What do you drive (daily & weekends)?
2: What might you be driving in the future?
3: What would you drive if $$$ was no object (pick 2 ;-)?

My answers to the above:
1: Toyota truck.
2: Newer Toyota truck.
3: Lamborghini Murcielago & McLaren F1.

Typical?... probably not! My '78 Volkswagen van that I bought from my brother-in-law (original owner) for $2,000 in 1983 has dragged my gear around to more new set-ups than I would like to remember. If it was just a little bigger, maybe I could set up the gear while I am moving... A great mechanic (relatively low maintenance costs) and a new paint job make her reliable and (I think) beautiful. She probably turns more heads now than when she was new. As for the gear, 165 lb. speakers, 100 lb. amps... no problem.
What I might be driving in the future? I have my eye on a '78 Volkswagen van and it is already in my garage.
Cost no object... Just thinking of all the test driving I would have to do... might even be worth cutting into my listening time.

Something LESS performance-driven and economical

I have two cars. The around-town daily driver is a '95 Volvo 850 turbo. The Hoo-Hah Mobile is a 2004 VW Phaeton with the W-12 engine.

The Phaeton was a marketing flop, which makes used the used car bargain of all time. I paid $53,000 for one with 18,000 miles. I intended to drive it only 5,000 miles a year, but I've now put close to 13,000 miles on it in 12 months. I'm finding all these excuses for road trips.

Other than it not having a turbocharged engine, the Phaeton is virtually the same car under the sheet metal as the Bentley Continental Flying Spur, which costs $200,000 in the version that people typically buy. Among other things they both have the same sound system, and it's damn good.

Biggest problem is speeding tickets. Two on the same day last summer.
